BOTB 11.6.11

By Kate Riley • November 6, 2011

Hello! I hope you’re all enjoying this fall weekend. The forecast for us is rain which sounds perfectly lovely to me, since it’s a great excuse to make soup and lounge in pajamas for most of the day. Meanwhile, shall we take a peek at some of the fabulousness that is going on in the blogosphere? Abi and I team up this week to bring you our favorites, enjoy!

We women have our decorative favorites that make us swoon, but I love hearing the man’s perspective. Have you read about the furniture men hate? Erin from Elements of Style fills us in.

The fence of padlocks is so sweet! I recently found that there is a small section of fence on a bike/walking path in Santa Rosa (Prince Memorial Greenway, I think) that people have started putting locks on in the same fashion so it’s interesting to see this is probably where the idea originated. Romantic!

Erin and others, I’m just laughing at my ignorance! LOL!! Should have paid more attention in Zoology… oh wait, never took that class! Thanks for the antler lesson!!!! {*and changing text to save face!}

Love BOTB! Just a note though, deer and elk drop their antlers each spring and grow new ones each year. We have picked up drops in the mountains and found some really neat ones. My uncle accumulated so many large antlers that he crafted a stair banister using them.

I was in Paris in August and saw the locks of love!! When I was scrolling through your list, I stopped and yelled out loud and my family asked what it was about. They took a look and all smiled. We found this bridge while wondering one day. Nice memories. :)
